AW: [Zope] Webdav and winword

[volker.wend@efgbsh.de]

The alternative is Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server, which I wanted to
avoid....

What is the cause for the Problem?

Regards,
Volker

Hi Volker,

this is a known problem because M$ does not follow the Webdav specs and we
were not able to find a workaround yet. Consider using Webdrive as an
